Dark Brown Ale is a cross between a stout and a brown ale. It uses English Fuggles and lots of dark roasted malt.

Copenhagen 16/8 2020. 50 cl bottle from Kvickly, Søtorvet, Silkeborg. Virklunds usual label design with a drawing of a badger.
Pours opaque, dark brown with a small off-white head. Settles as thin, patchy layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is moderately intense with a sweet, slightly sugary odor with some citrus fruits lurking in the background. Caramel, brown sugar and toffee. Roasted malts. A bit of nuts. Lime and citrus.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily. almost flat texture.
Flavor is fairly intense with a medium strong sweetness followed and balanced by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while. Finish is fairly dry.
Not bad - the espresso version of Virklunds usual brown ale.
